Everybody on this thread could only dream of making that kind of money. Why do these idiots even sign contracts if they don’t honor them. You never here of the owners paying players less for having bad years. This should be a two way street.

The jaguars have become the no. 1 cheapskates of the league.

Is this how Kahn made his fortune, underpaying employees?

You are so off the mark. Jones-Drew has already been paid about $30 MILLION dollars. He has 2 years left on the contract HE SIGNED. Why renegotiate with a already signed running back with 2 years to play?

Sure, he won the NFL rushing title last year but practically every other quality back was hurt; also, he was their only offensive weapon so he got the ball. I say good for him- he did it against defenses who stacked the box and knew he was coming.

He’s far from being underpaid. Had he not done ANYTHING over the 5 year contract, he still would have gotten over $20 MILLION dollars guaranteed.

Sucks to be one of the best at a position that is undervalued in the league. He’ll report this week, he got paid in 2009 but not enough to pass up $130k take home each week. He’s too grounded of a guy to go full douche like that.

I don’t blame the team for holding his feet to the fire and Jaguar fans in general seem to support the team in this.\

Then there should be no such thng as “underperfoming a contract”…A signing bonus is in leau guaranteed contracts. If his contract has been front loaded (including bonus),

1440 yard average last 3 years. 11.3 total touchdowns per year avg.

how hasnt he played up to his contract? jacksonville is NOTHING without him…

not really a Jville fan either but facts are facts.

In related news, i bet this really takes the sail out of the wind for Mike Mularkey

Hold out for what you can. Every player should! As long as owners can drop a player on a whim with no obligation to the player’s contract then holdouts should not be frowned upon. It’s a two way street!

He got some 18 million dollars up front and 3 years of the contract money HE agreed to. He has 2 more years coming.

There is no “outperforming a contract”- he is getting what he agreed (a-GREED) to and should come to work. I don’t blame the team for holding his feet to the fire and Jaguar fans in general seem to support the team in this.

New owner Shad Khan is drawing the line in the sand. Good for him.

He doesn’t live here, he doesn’t have any mini football camps to support youth that I have heard of and any jaguars sponsored event I have been to, he has always had a scowl on his face? I was a MJD fan, but I have agree with the poster who brought up the Cutler incident. He is a hypocrite and is making it obvious that he doesn’t care about the team, city or the fans.

He does a lot for the city of Jax, and has been a stand up guy from day one. He’s outplayed his contract and everybody knows it. I don’t think it’s asking too much for a franchise that he’s sticking with, knowing they won’t sniff a superbowl during his career, to show a little love and open their pocketbook for the face of the franchise. The RB position has probably the shortest shelf life in football, and this guy deserves to be compensated according to his production.

All that said, he’s killing my fantasy team!
